The Marquis of Salisbury replying
to a deputation which called to urge
the Government to take some action to
protect British trade from the effects
Of foreign competition, assisted by
bounties, said it was impossible to

flicted upon British workmen. The

soon consider matters, and in the
meantime he could already say that
there were two ways for Englishmen
to deal with their assailants in the
contest. If reasoning failed English
men would return blows.
